Is bear creek the brand of Soup? I start my liquid diet on Jan 20 and I'm freaking out!!!! I've enjoyed reading your posts

yes it's in bag though as a dry mix not a can. Nothing seems to taste as wonderful as it did before the sleeve though. Very strange

Thank you, does Walmart sell it?

Weird about the taste.... My surgeon said that the first 9 months are when the weight comes off the fastest, maybe that's when taste buds figure it out :)

yep the bags used to be bigger but u might wanna try it before the surgery andd then after and see if u notice a difference. U can add as much Water as u want to make it thicker or thinner and some good unflavored Protein mixed in. I've only had the cheddar potato and broccoli and cheese so idk about the other flavors they have.

It was an awesome feeling!!!

Have to say that I have encountered very little problems, just very frustrated with Protein Drinks and that I cannot have anything else. I'm waiting on phase 2 so I can start the purée foods, if anyone may please share some good purée recipes, I would greatly appreciate it.

Who can tell me wen u have done all ur testing. What is the next process and how long does it take. Is it the doc who determines wat date u get sleeved or does he work with ur availability if u have to inform ur job? Can someone guide me thru the next step.

I think it's different for different people. I went thru a bariatric center and the final thing I do is meet back up with my surgeon and talk about any final questions I have, etc. I start a 2 week preop diet the next day and then my surgery. They were offering to have my surgery this month but it wasn't good for me so we scheduled it for feb 18.

Ok so we can tell them wen its convenient. I can get accommodation at work but that doesn't secure ur job like having FMLA.

Mine worked with me like a champ.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
